Hello, welcome back to my blog. Sorry for a very very late blog post that I had to finish weeks ago but I am posting it now. So as every Friday, we had to finish off the pending work we hadn’t finished. Today I finished an activity about “After The War”. I completed this activity with a friend. We worked together as a pair because we wanted to collaborate. But before discussing the activity, let me share what we did before that.
First, as a whole class, the teacher read the story “After The War” by Bob Kerr to us. Then we were given a piece of paper and a pen/pencil to write down our thoughts as the teacher read the book. Afterwards, as a class, we discussed the images in the book and then wrote down any questions that popped into our heads.
After, we did a task where we were comparing pictures. “Task 1 – Compare the Pictures” – We observed the kitchens in 1945, 1960 and 1990 to identify interesting or unique elements that were different from what we have these days. 1945, 1960 and 1990 on pages 2, 6, and 12.
Next, we discussed and viewed 1950, 1965 and 1999, paying attention to the people and the activities around them. As a class, we shared our comments with the teacher, discussing the pictures from 1950, 1965, and 1999, pages 4, 7, and 14. We also wrote down the things we felt interesting.
Afterwards, it was our turn. For Task 2, we had to choose a post-war decade that we were interested in learning more about. The first part was to create an infographic to inform the audience about the significant events of that decade. We also had to create a presentation with information about the important aspects of life in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our teacher provided the option of making the presentation or creating a video to explain our infographic.
I had a buddy which was Yance, my friend. We worked very well and we finished the infographic and video of our infographic. Sadly, the video is working to put on our blogs. But, we had a very fun time doing this and were so happy that we finished it. Hope you enjoy it.
